Judges improperly enhanced sentences of more than 100 Jan 6 protesters, court rules

[Callinectes]

Yeah, the bigot,

Fuck bigotry. The emancipation proclamation didn’t come about until almost 3 years into the insurrection. And virtually everyone, north or south, was a bigot including old honest Abe himself.

Democrats then were conservatives.

Please stop with that tired old bull shit. The only things Southern jackasses wanted to "conserve" was their way of life. To that end, they started a REAL insurrection. With hundreds of thousands of troops with guns, horses, artillery, a congress and president, and their own damn constitution. They inflicted almost 643,000 casualties on the federal forces, and yes, they did actually attack Washington City (it wasn't D.C. yet) in July of 1864. They were a bunch of rabid radicals truly intent on overturning a DEMOCRATICALLY elected, internationally recognized federal government. Does that sound conservative to you?

You’re a conservative, aren’t you?

Damn right I am. Born a democrat in Washington D.C., with ancestors who fought in the CSA and on the northern side. Changed affiliation after carter and haven't looked back since. Guess what I want to "conserve"? I'll give you a hint: It's the constitution.

What you historical fucktards should stop doing is trying to tell us the Republicans of today are the Party of Lincoln. Your radicalized party has no resemblance whatsoever to that party. Those Republicans were progressives. The Dems were the conservatives and the party of slavery. So, cut the bullshit, pally boy. Most of us know better. Obviously, you don’t.

I’m so glad you described the rabid radicals trying to overturn a DEMOCRATICALLY elected government. You just described your cult leader’s followers on Jan.6. Ones he stood back and watched.

You shit want to preserve the Constitution. Otherwise, you would’t support a criminal who has stated he would, and already has, violated parts of it.

You’re no conservative. You’re a radicalized RW idiot.

As if you would know...or would tell the truth if U did.

Indeed. No one should have seen prison time unless they violently injured police officers.

And to think that there are biden's illegal buddies who have attacked police officers in N.Y.C and then were immediately set free to give
America the double middle finger, while we have innocent J6 protestors during endless time in jail with no court date in sight. And we
saw Black Looters Matter and Antifa thugs murder dozens of people, destroy small businesses and burn cities without even receiving
a day in jail for their criminal activities.

 

[Libhater]

I'm concerned about that.

Shouldn't they be put down before the pigfucking orangutan pardons them?

And why, for that matter, hasn't Biden taken care of Trump yet?
This republic is already dead.
They'll be no restoring it.

Let's hope that it's the correct people who replace it,
but that could go wrong too.

Somebody else's problem, though.
At this point, I shouldn't even give a fuck.

Go back to bed, and do so while taking a full bottle of Ambien pills.

Judges may have improperly applied federal sentencing guidelines to more than 100 people convicted of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol, a federal court ruled Friday.

A three-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Justice Department’s argument that convicted rioters merited lengthier prison sentences for interfering in the “administration of justice” when they stormed the Capitol to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.

“[T]he phrase ‘administration of justice’ does not encompass Congress’s role in the electoral certification process,” Judge Patricia Millett wrote in the court’s unanimous ruling.

“[T]ext, context, and commentary show that ‘administration of justice’ refers to judicial, quasi-judicial, and adjunct investigative proceedings, but does not extend to the unique congressional function of certifying electoral college votes,” she added.

“Administration of justice” enhancements are typically reserved for defendants who disrupt judicial proceedings, such as a courtroom trial or grand jury investigation.

However, prosecutors routinely asked DC judges to apply the enhancement to individuals convicted of participating in the riot at the Capitol.

More than 100 rioters have had “administration of justice” enhancements applied to their sentences, Patricia Hartman, a spokesperson for the DC US Attorney’s Office, told the Associated Press.

The imprisoned rioters who had their sentences enhanced may push for new, lighter sentences if the appeals court ruling stands.

The case before the appeals court was specifically related to the enhancement of convicted rioter Larry Brock.

Brock, a retired Air Force officer who stormed the Capitol while wearing a military combat helmet and tactical vest, was convicted of a felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding and misdemeanor offenses for his role in the riot.

He was sentenced last year to two years in prison.

“Brock’s interference with one stage of the Electoral College vote-counting process — while no doubt endangering our democratic processes and temporarily derailing Congress’s constitutional work — did not interfere with the ‘administration of justice,’” the appeals court ruled.

Brock’s attorney argued that the misapplied enhancement likely increased his client’s sentence by about nine months.

The Justice Department is considering whether to appeal the ruling, according to Hartman.

If we simply lethally injected the cretins, we wouldn't have to worry about mistakes after the fact.

This pro treason stance of the cult makes me fucking puke. It’s absolutely disgusting. Every American should cheer ever guilty verdict. Instead they call these criminals who beat up cops, trashed the capitol, shit on the floor and tried to kill the Vice President ‘hostages’. You reveal your sick hateful ignorant character. You are grotesque and disgusting. A fucking horror. All of you.
